AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Friendswood
A full bathroom remodel in Friendswood, TX typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on whether you’re updating a compact hall bath or gutting a master suite in one of the older ranch homes along Clear Creek. Most of our Friendswood jobs take two to six weeks once materials arrive, and we pull permits on every eligible project. If your bathroom still carries the original 1970s footprint, has moisture issues behind fiber-cement siding, or you’re weighing a tub-to-shower conversion, call Tom and the crew at (877) 610-1318 for a free, itemized estimate.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews on most Friendswood jobs. That means the name on the truck matches the people measuring your bathroom, and the phone gets answered by a live person, 24/7, not an out-of-state call center.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Friendswood’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Friendswood homeowners have a particular set of concerns, and we’ve walked enough of these jobs-from bathrooms to our Driveway & Pavers in Friendswood-to know them by heart. The single-story brick ranches in 77546, the elevated-slab builds in newer subdivisions off FM 528, the Harvey-era repairs that were rushed and now show moisture behind the walls. We look for all of it before we write a scope.
Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look any of it up before you sign. Every change order comes to you in writing before a dollar moves, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is on every contract we write in Friendswood. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
We don’t dispatch strangers. The crew members who show up in Friendswood are the same people you’ll see at the hardware store on Saturday. Background-checked, uniformed, and working under the Barrett name. That’s a L.O.C.A.L. values thing: local roots, on time, community first, accountable, loyal.
Our Bathroom Remodeling work in Friendswood carries one more distinction: we coordinate scheduling from our Houston office, but every Friendswood job is crewed locally and supported by people who know Clear Creek flood zones, Beaumont clay, and post-Harvey building codes. We’ve seen too many out-of-area GCs walk into a Friendswood job without a FEMA map in hand and stall the whole project.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Friendswood
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut and rebuild of a Friendswood master or hall bath usually lands between $9,000 and $28,000 in this market. That includes demolition to the studs, plumbing and electrical updates, moisture-resistant drywall, tile, fixtures, and a permit pulled before we start. If your home flooded in Harvey and the bathroom was partially rebuilt, we examine what was done, what’s hiding behind the walls, and whether the original framing is still sound.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Friendswood typically runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build curbless entries, reinforced backing for grab bars, and linear drains sized for the city’s flat slab-on-grade foundations. Given Friendswood’s humidity, we pay close attention to ventilation and waterproof membrane details that a quick-bid outfit will skip.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Friendswood generally costs $3,500 to $10,000. This is the most common request we get from homeowners in their 60s and 70s who want to stay in their homes for another twenty years. We handle the plumbing reconfiguration, the waterproofing, the tile work, and the permits. Done once, done right.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Friendswood is a $800 to $3,000 job, depending on whether it’s a stock replacement or a custom piece built for an irregular wall. Floor tile, shower tile, and fixture replacement follow the same rule we apply everywhere: the scope is in writing, the allowances are in writing, and nothing changes without a change order you sign first.

Trusted Brands We Service in Friendswood
We install brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. In Friendswood bathrooms, that means Delta and Moen fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, and Cambria quartz countertops float through most of our quotes. We also stock common replacement parts for the bathroom hardware Friendswood homeowners already have, which saves a second trip when something fails mid-project. You’ll never see a line item for a brand we can’t name.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Friendswood Homes
- Post-Harvey moisture intrusion behind walls. Many Friendswood bathrooms were dried out quickly after 2017, but not completely. We regularly find mold on studs and subfloor layers that looked fine from the outside, especially in slab-on-grade ranches where water wicked up behind baseboards.
- Slab movement on Beaumont clay. Friendswood sits on expansive clay that shrinks in dry spells and swells after rain. Shower pans crack, floor tile pops, and vanity cabinets pull away from walls when the slab shifts. We design against that from the subfloor up, not just cosmetically on top.
- Pre-1980s plumbing that was never updated. Cast iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes are common in the 1960s and 1970s ranch homes of 77546. A bathroom remodel is the right moment to replace them while the walls are open, instead of patching and hoping.
- Improper Harvey-era repairs that need correcting. Some homes were patched quickly after the flood with materials that weren’t moisture-rated. We’ve torn out shower surrounds in Friendswood and found green drywall behind tile, a code violation and a mold factory. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
